Adobe released a beta of their next version of Flash Player. Flash 10 introduces quite a few new features, including native 3D support. There is no patch for Flash CS3 in order to create Flash 10 content. Developers can download the latest version of the Adobe Flex 3.0 SDK, and compile Flash 10 SWFs from the command line. Because Flash CS3 is not involved in this process, you cannot use an FLA (You compile directly from AS files).

(If you don’t have Flash 10, it will show you a video and links to Flash 10)
While you could make 3D objects in Flash 8 and 9 (using Papervision3D), it would still require quite a bit of time to learn how to use Papervision3D, and utilize a 3D modeling program. I created the spinning globe from scratch with about 40 lines of code.
I can’t wait until I get a chance to do more 3D stuff with Flash 10!
I think you are very irresponsible driving around and recording a screencast.
No argument here! At least I wasn’t using a laptop in the passenger seat, though. My eyes were on the road in between angle changes.
Plus, there’s no law (yet) regarding video production while driving. Now that Phoenix has banned text messaging while driving, I’m sure the days of driving video are numbered.
Brian Shaler, you rock my world.
You totally rock dude :)
